Not my RX-8 pt. 3

I went back to the dealership for more pics. This time it's in full Florida sun.

The red looks absolutely stunning in sunlight. I tried to capture it. But it was in vain. The depth of the metallic mica can only be appreciated in person. Even my friend, who was indifferent to it before, was taken back by how amazing the red sparkles in sunlight.

The metallic blue also shines brillantly. But my current car is also metallic blue. Seeing the color blue everyday kinda made the blue RX-8 a little too familiar for me. So I was less impressed by it.

Quality images. At last someone has captured a good shot of the instruments.

What are the two 'spikes' either side of and above the tachometer?

I think the one on the right is to switch and reset the trip meters. Push to switch between trip A and trip B. Pull to reset to zero. I'm not sure what the left one does. An owner can clear that up pretty quick.

If you hold the left one for 2 seconds, the speedometer and odometer will change from km to mi or visa-versa.

Steelerfan,
My preorder has never shown up either. The dealer I ordered my car through is receiving non-preorder cars first. I cancelled my preorder and bought one of the cars off of his lot. They skipped my vin number and started shipping higher VIN's to the dealer. Mine is still sitting at port. This is pretty crappy what they are doing. I think they just want cars for sale ASAP so they are shipping the available cars first.

They are all up for sales. The red GT was a preorder that someone backed out at the last minute. The yellow GT and blue auto sport are dealer's allocations. Also a silver GT and titanium GT were picked up earlier in the week. I'm still waiting for my red sport. This dealer is supposedly the largest volume dealer in the US. So they will be getting alot of RX-8s.

The Red looks really good, can't wait to see it in person. I've been driving by my dealer daily for the last week in hopes that they'll have one soon..
